Their New Quarters.
The fact that Los Angeles is bounti-
fully supplied with some OF the most
potent elements OF progression, is un-
dutiably attested by the many large
and commodious business blocks
which are being rapidly pushed to
completion in all parts of the city.
A HERALD reporter was last even
ing shown through the new building
at No. 80 South Main street, which is
to be occupied by Meyberg Bros, the
large wholesale and retail dealers in
chinaware, queensware and all kinds
OF crockery. This firms large and
growing business necessitated more
commodious quarters, and the erection
of large business block which will
be its future headquarters was the
result.
When completed and fully stocked
it will be the largest and most mag
nifcently equipped establishment OF
the kind in the State, extending from
Main street on the North to Los Ange-
les street on the south, the dimensions
being 60 feet front by $50 feet deep.

enters the building he iHvoluntarily
stops and gazes in mute astonishment
at the bewildering array of fine
crockery, statuary and queensware
by which each side of the immense
builiing is lined as far as the eye can

The building has been erected at a
fabulous cost and with special refer

There are several ways in which
the current might be turned from the
wire sufficiently to cause death.
They may talk as they please about
perfect and lasting insulation, but ev-
cry electrician knows that exposure to
weather, the swaying OF wires against
trees and the dragging of telegraph
and telephone wires across the coating
OF the electric light wire is bound to
injure and finally to wear it away.
The wires have been up long enough
to render the insulation rotten, and it
is getting worse every day. That is
why | say the danger is increasing.
Should wire become detached
from pole and left to swing near the
street, as has been the case several
times, and should man chance to
touch the wire at a point where the
Insulation was imperfect, he would be
KILLED instantly. Should a man press
8tle point OF a penknife through the

jchances are ten to one that he would
lend his life at that instant; or should
